I am having trouble setting up an auto logon in W8.1. I used trhe tutorial with the “netplwiz” command, selected the desired user and then removing the checkmark for “Require a password to logon”. What happens now is upon startup the password is denied. Then click on ,,, OK .. Arrow pointing to left and selecting the same user and putting in the same PW. This time I’m logged in.
All of the accounts were without a picture and I couldn’t tell the users apart, so I put a picture on the local account. When I clicked on OK .. Arrow pointing to the left (above paragraph) there were three user accounts labed Local .... Other User .. And what I presume is the MS account.
The first two had the same picture. I put a picture on the local account only. The account labeled other user does not appear elsewhere that I can determine. My quesions are;
1. How do I determine the MS account?
2. I want auto logon using the local account. How?
3. Can I delete the MS account and have just one local account with auto logon?
